Developers in search of an AI coding assistant to improve their coding tasks
About Mentat
Mentat is the AI tool that assists you with any coding task, right from your command line. Unlike Copilot, Mentat coordinates edits across multiple locations and files. And unlike ChatGPT, Mentat already has the context of your project, no copy and pasting is required. Run Mentat from within your project directory. Mentat uses Git, so if your project doesn't already have Git set up, run git init. List the files you would like Mentat to read and edit as arguments. Mentat will add each of them to context, so be careful not to exceed the GPT-4 token context limit.
